Sheffield Utd are yet to score a point on their return to the Premier League this season, following up their opening-weekend defeat to Crystal Palace with another away to Nottm Forest just over a week ago. Paul Heckingbottom's side were just a few minutes away from securing a vital point on the road after new signing Gustavo Hamer had cancelled out Taiwo Awoniyi's early opener, but Chris Wood came off the bench to head an 89th-minute winner for Forest.
There's just one change to the Sheffield Utd side for today's game, with George Baldock returning having recovered from the calf issue the full-back suffered during the first game of the season. Hamer makes his home debut, but new signing Cameron Archer will have to wait to make his.
Defending champions Man City made it two out of two last weekend when they beat Newcastle at home. Julian Alvarez's first-half strike was the difference between the two sides, with Phil Foden pulling the strings in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who has undergone surgery for a hamstring issue after pulling up during City's win against Burnley on opening night. The Belgian will undoubtedly be missed, but with the kind of strength in depth that Pep Guardiola has there are plenty of others who'll be ready to contribute to City's title defence.
New signing Jeremy Doku is on the bench for Man City today, with both Alvarez and Haaland set to give Sheffield Utd's defence a torrid time. Foden drops to the bench but Bernardo Silva returns after illness.
The Blades haven't beaten Man City since a 2-1 FA Cup victory back in 2008, when Richard Dunne, Darius Vassell and Elano were turning out for the Cityzens, but Haaland, Foden and co will be a much tougher test today.
